It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

Wayne, I would like to try op.67 no.5, please.I think all pieces are above my level, but it looks like interesting challange and way how to learn something new.I think mid February would be fine. Do I have to record myself on a video or just sound is sufficient?Pavel

Wayne, is there an easy way to convert an mp3 file to a, er, whatever YouTube uses file or do we need to supply visuals (like me in my ABBA costume )?

Failing to record a video (In full Abba dresscode), you could make a slideshow with some pics, using windows movie maker, like Recaredo did for his M1 piece. Then convert it to flv (flash). I use Freestudiomanager.

I won't be getting a camera, Jeff, I'm not expecting to get anything more than a black/blank screen while the mp3 file plays! Maybe a picture of a coffin! (I'm doing the funeral march)

Sounds like a plan. I guess I do not need to over think this after all. I will try and think of an equally appropriate image. Op 102, no. 6 is reminiscent of a Hymn to me, so Church like images are flashing through my brain now.

Have we decided on a time frame for this recital yet? I have a recording of 38/6 (with video) that I made in the summer of 2011. At least I have proof that I could play it at one time! I tried playing through it the other day and it was very rough - not suitable for playing in public. It would probably take me about a month to get it back into playing shape.

It would be nicer if you could brush up on your piece Sam, so all the recital entries are current. But it is totally up to you. There's no set timeframe yet, we are taking it as it comes so to speak But you're guarenteed a couplke of months
